Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said that the Nandipur power plant machinery had been lying at Karachi Port due to which the material got rusted while precious equipment were also stolen.
Nandipur power plant machinery is imported from China while Lahore Metro bus, a fleet of 45 buses, is also imported from China. If those buses could land at Karachi Port and went to Lahore, why didn’t Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif also do the same for Nandipur power plant machinery?
Either the CM’s priority is Metro bus or he wanted to complete this project when his brother Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was in power. If his focus had been to end load shedding, this project would have already been completed.
If the Punjab government had also made same efforts in the previous tenure, when they are main opposition party in the National Assembly, to build a solar park just like the one in Bahawalpur, many small solar parks could have been completed by now and today load shedding would have been reduced, if not totally ended.
